About Hydrowear
Hydrowear is a Dutch workwear manufacturer founded in 2001 and based at Emmen in the north-east Netherlands. It has grown into one of the fastest-growing workwear brands in its home market by focusing on one problem that most workwear brands handle badly — staying dry through a long shift outdoors without ending up soaked from the inside instead.
The answer is Simply No Sweat, Hydrowear's own fabric technology, which achieves EN 343 waterproof class 4 alongside genuinely high breathability. The range covers parkas, jackets, trousers, bib and brace and coveralls in waterproof, high-visibility and multinorm (flame-retardant and antistatic) configurations — with garments named after Dutch towns, which makes referencing a specific style straightforward.
Hydrowear is the step up from budget PU rainwear for teams who are genuinely outside all day in Scottish weather — utilities, civils, highways, ports, waste and agriculture. If your crews are currently rotating through cheap waterproofs every season, it is usually cheaper over two years to buy Hydrowear once.
There are currently 5 products from Hydrowear in the catalogue, covering clothing, workwear, flame retardant and hi visibility, from £31.40 ex VAT. Everything is available on business terms, with trade pricing that improves with volume. Orders over £150 ex VAT are delivered free, and most stocked lines dispatch for fast delivery.
